The circles are a nice big size and could work but I decided to start a new shape for them in rectangles. These are also fine for women.<br />

I thought about continuing the previous cord option (where I tie the adjustable knots) but then decided to go with ball chains so these hang dog-tag style. The chains are available on the other pendants too. I'll probably add them as an option & replace the tied cords all together but that's a lot of editing and I have so many new ones to add.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07445643862085625826noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681390.post-7708367181851372932012-05-02T06:51:00.001-07:002012-05-02T06:54:22.973-07:00New painting, Cats on a Spring NightHere is one of my most recent paintings, <a href="http://zenbreeze.com/store/zencat94.htm">Cats on a Spring Night</a>: <br />

This subject was a suggestion from someone who had, as you can guess, an orange tabby and a long-haired black cat. I'm always happy to get suggestions. Although I have an extensive "to do" list of painting ideas, I often cast about myself when I'm in between paintings, like now.<br />
<br />
In addition to providing the print options, I'm also trying to include the pendant on the <a href="http://zenbreeze.com/store/zencat94.htm">same page</a>:<br />

You can now use your Amazon gift cards and points to buy <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html?ie=UTF8&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&me=A1FE08K2BD4DGX">my jewelry on Amazon</a>. I will be fulfilling the orders so you'll still get the personal touch :-).<br /><br />I am filling up my shop as quickly as possible. I currently have something over 100 different pendants in stock (and new ones all the time).<br /><br />It's quite a milestone. Amazon restricts the number of jewelry sellers and you have to go through a couple rounds of review. It's an honor to be included.<br />

the air. The sky is in shades of yellow, deepening to amber. Offered as
a handmade pendant from my original painting.<br />

Siamese cat. Both are illumined by the full moon as bright autumn leaves

This visionary landscape is part of the Dreamscapes series, which
combines my original paintings with digital enhancements. The grunge
texture and imperfections give the images a weathered, timeless feel.<br />

it together, snapped a couple pictures and installed the software.
Haven't downloaded the pics yet.<br /><br />Once I get used to using it
(this is my first not-strictly pointandshoot), I'll have to revisit
everywhere to take new photos ;-).<br /><br />I got it primarily to get
better images of my paintings for prints but I'd also like to see how
the photos compare and maybe do more with altered photos. Love the
grunge/dark art style. I experimented a bit with it, combining elements
from my paintings & texture layers, but I'm sure I can do much more
with these photos as a base.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07445643862085625826noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681390.post-23673994128621475502011-11-20T16:08:00.001-08:002011-11-20T16:09:48.503-08:00<a href="http://fineartamerica.com/featured/catch-a-falling-leaf-laura-iverson.html?newartwork=true">Catch a Falling Leaf </a>sold and is off to its new home but <a href="http://fineartamerica.com/featured/catch-a-falling-leaf-laura-iverson.html?newartwork=true">prints </a>are still available.<br />

branches, arcing to form a peace sign. Snowflakes dance in the blue
night sky. The image of my original artwork was first baked onto a
white polymer clay disk, set in a silver-plated circle, then sealed with
hand-poured resin.
<br />
<br />
A black ribbon necklace is included so the piece is ready to wear.
These have an extender chain that adjusts from approximately 18" - 21",
closing with a lobster claw clasp. If you would like a longer length, an
adjustable knotted cord may be substituted for no additional charge
that will fit most sizes, typically 22" - 26" (these are adjusted by
sliding the knots and don't have a metal clasp--a great unisex option).<br />

Necklace I created for my upcoming birthday. The image is from one of my favorite paintings that sold quite a few years ago now. The pendant is also available from <a href="http://zenbreeze.com/">my website</a>, or, if you would like a beaded one similar to this, <a href="mailto:breezyzen@gmail.com">email me</a>.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07445643862085625826noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6681390.post-20308893760691470212011-10-22T17:07:00.000-07:002011-10-22T17:07:40.214-07:00Went to see the Monarch butterflies today at the sanctuary at Natural Bridges State Park in Santa Cruz, California. They have a lovely, swampy area with eucalyptus trees where the butterflies stop to rest on their migration. This year, the day was particularly nice (some years, it's been overcast and cold so the butterflies weren't active). A couple photos from the day...<br />

I have been so inspired with the new Dreamscapes digital painting series that I decided to try to achieve the same effect with an actual painting. I am hoping to do three others to represent the seasons (backgrounds are done--need to add the ravens and seasonal elements).<br />
